Had a good day

Well, for those who know me well - I have these moments where I really don't need a reason - but I feel like a good cry. I had a mini one on Thursday, though I had a reason - my emotions collided. A misunderstanding occurred over a month ago and I was just hearing about it on Thursday. I was hurt about what occurred. Of course, it collided with my thoughts for a couple of my friends who are going through a difficult time. Knowing they was there for me in my hour of need, I feel bad not being there for them. Nothing feels better than a good hug from someone who cares about you. So around 11pm on Thursday, I had my cry as I was typing to another friend of mine. It was a mini release I needed I guess.

Yesterday, I did something I haven't done for a while - I read a book cover to cover in a day!! (okay I did that in Vancouver Airport since I had 4-5 hours to kill before my flight left for Calgary). I had a Calgary radio station on, so it was comforting hearing the weather, news and traffic reports from home. Then I joined friends for lunch. Heather's family and mine have known each other for like forever. I think I was 3-4 years old when they moved into the neighbourhood. Small world as I know Heather's husband as well - we have mutual friends and it has been years since seeing each other (that's the small town feel you get from living in Thunder Bay). It was great catching up. They are expecting twins and I am tickled for them (that would be tickled pink and blue!).

This afternoon I am having lunch with Lorna and Jide. Lorna and I go way back too - we attended the same church and later in our 20s/30s we were on the same church committees. When Lorna and Jide were planning their wedding, I somehow became their wedding planner. Lorna mentioned that in her thanks at the wedding reception. Maybe it is my organizing skills - it was fun but exhausting at times. Sounds funny - I was the last one to enter the church (you know fluffying the dress in the back for Lorna), so the only seat was the last pew at the back of the church, so technically I finally "saw" their wedding months afterwards. So it has been great by doing this study - we have been able to meet up for supper/lunch everytime I am in town.

So - this weekend has been a good day. Though my thoughts are with my friends out west - I have recovered from my cry episode.
